Pot in Washington

This photo taken Feb. 13, 2013 shows different strains of marijuana displayed during the grand opening of the Seattle location of the Northwest Cannabis Market, for sales of medical marijuana products. It took nearly 15 years after voters approved it for medical marijuana to become available in the District of Columbia, but the next major change to the districts pot laws is on the fast track. The D.C. Council is poised to approve a bill to decriminalize possession of small amounts of pot, and Democratic Mayor Vincent Gray supports it. He could sign the bill into law as early as January.
